George Soros has been in the headlines time and again either due to his political activism or for his philanthropic achievements. As a political activist, George Soros is considered to be one of the torchbearers of the democratic ideals across the globe and is arguably one of the biggest donors to various organizations that are pro-democracy. The efforts of George Soros to promote democracy are not limited to the United States, but he has reached out to various agencies across the globe. It is why the governments of many countries believe that George Soros is interfering with their country’s politics, but he believes that all he is doing is stopping capitalism to take over the world once again.

Having witnessed the world transform in front of his eyes over the years, George Soros knows what politics is capable of. He is not happy with the political situation across the globe at the moment and believes that the right people with democratic values embedded in them should be heading the countries to ensure that the people can enjoy their rights freely and there is no threat of capitalism looming over the world. George Soros has been a prolific businessman as well in his lifetime and is listed by the Forbes as the 29th richest person in the world. With the total net worth of over $25 billion, George Soros is in position to change the dynamics of financial market as well as the country’s politics. He believes that the fortune that he has accumulated over the years has given him the freedom as well as an opportunity to work with others and help empower local communities. It is what he focuses most of his time on.

To structure his efforts properly, George Soros started Open Society Foundation in 1973. It helped him reach out to the democratic and charitable organizations beyond the United States. George Soros has always been involved in the United States’ politics from a distance, and in the Presidential Elections of the United States in 2016, George spent more than $30 million to fund the election campaign of Democrat Hillary Clinton. George Soros was disappointed when Hillary couldn’t secure a win at the top seat, but it didn’t discourage George Soros in moving ahead with the policy reform measures that he has been putting all his efforts in.

George Soros is profoundly influenced by Karl Popper and his ideology of Open Society. He once read the book by Karl Popper named Open Society and Its Enemies, which dealt with how the class divide is happening in society we live in and the rich are getting richer, and the situation of the poor is getting worse. George believes that once the power is in the right hand, the situation can change drastically. It is why he leaves no stone unturned in supporting the democratic candidates in the elections of the United States and elsewhere. As a democratic liberal, George Soros believes that capitalism needs to be uprooted from the society for the community to thrive and be ready for the peaceful future.
